Our own breed of radical that really believes some of the crazy stuff they promote.

—

Right. Love science shows. At least when they aren’t fluff pieces for some industry or other, aren’t whitewashing things like human experimentation or the cynical motives of those who did them. And especially when they bring up stuff I hadn’t considered or hadn’t heard of before.

Such is Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman. Let’s take a look at some of the topics briefly:

S1E1 – “Is There a Creator?”

S1E4 – “What Happened Before the Beginning?”

S2E1 – “Is There Life After Death?”

S3E10 – “Did We Invent God?”

S4E1 – “Is There a God Particle?”

S4E2 – “Where Does Life Begin?”

S4E10 – “Did God Create Evolution?”

S5E1 – “Is God an Alien Invention?”

S5E8 – “Will We Become God?”

That’s just a smattering. Many of the other actual episodes include concepts, ideas, theories similar to these even if the main topic is not directly related to them.

Now I need to back up a bit and make an abrupt turn in order to provide some context.

COLD WAR RESEARCH / MKUKLTRA

See especially item 1 here, but also many subprojects connected to mental illness and effects that substances have on it here.

POLITICS AND THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY ARE MORE COMINGLED THAN WE GENERALLY THINK

Summer 1980: Republicans create “GOP CIA” in order to conduct covert operations domestically for political purposes. History Commons. The line between the Agency and GOP becomes blurred and Director Casey is apparently aware of operations being conducted of behalf of both.

Writing in 2007, Kolb will reflect on the Republican Party’s “own in-house team of covert operatives, as capable of conducting espionage and sabotage for the Republican Party as for the CIA.”

You can safely assume that the Democrats have since done likewise.

POST-9/11

18 September 2001: The Anthrax attacks occur. Pressure is placed on FBI to blame Iraq or Al Qaeda.

8 December 2001: Authority on DNA sequencing, Dr. Robert Schwartz, was murdered by his daughter and two other “pagan” teens with a sword.

Patrick House, a former boyfriend, testified Oct. 8 that he and Schwartz were the primary characters in an elaborate role-playing game she invented called Underworld. Clara played the overlord, Lord Chaos, and House acted as an assassin assigned to kill “Old Guy” — Clara Schwartz’s father.

Let us recall the investigator’s desire to establish where the anthrax came from genetically. {Reminder: the perpetrator turned out to be an American, a Fort Detrick Army/CIA WMD expert named Bruce Ivins.}

The perpetrator, identified by the New York Post as an ex-boyfriend, screamed “Get out, devils! I cast you out, devils! In the name of Jesus Christ, I cast you out!” as he stabbed E’Dena Hines, 33, whose grandmother was Freeman’s first wife.

While no further details have been released, the immediate assumption is that Lamar Davenport – who is known to have abused alcohol and drugs – is mentally ill.

Foxnews, “Morgan Freeman’s step-granddaughter reportedly stabbed to death in ‘exorcism’,” 17 August 2015:

… A police source told the Post that the suspect “was still making a stabbing motion with his arm, but he had nothing in his fist — the knife was jutting out of her chest.”

Davenport was described by law enforcement sources as an aspiring rapper who performed under the name Lyric. He is the father of two young children — neither with Hines — and has a history of abusing drugs and alcohol.

I could, I suppose link to dozens or hundreds of far rightwing politicians calling for death camps, executions, making crazy cult-like statements, bashing science, bashing atheists, etc. I hope there is no need to do that. They would do it, some of them, and FBI would stay out it not prosecute because some of these same people control their budget, not to mention the 1950s agreement with DOJ not to prosecute CIA if sensitive methods/sources are used.

It’s all there. We don’t want to believe it because it’s easier to dismiss it or think it actually is some supreme being’s doing. It isn’t, it’s just arrogant, un-American assholes.
